Changed my mind about those cheap tire plug kits after a blowout on I-80
I always thought those $10 tire plug kits from the gas station were a joke, just a temporary fix for a slow leak. Last month I got a nail in my work truck tire right outside Des Moines, middle of a delivery route. I jammed that plug in on the shoulder, and it held air for the rest of my shift and another 3 weeks until I got a proper patch. Now I carry two kits in every vehicle, has anyone else had a plug surprise them like that?

Whoa, not a fan of those plugs for a blowout fix. It's risky.

Yeah, because who doesn't love a temp fix that might explode on the highway?
